| Rudeus behaving like an amateur getting spooked by that human sized doll. He just stood there and if not for Zanoba he probably would have been injured |
 |
| "I won't disappear on you" That was a huge red flag 🚩 Poor sweet Sylphie... 🥺 |
 |
| Nice! Redeus managed to find a house to live with Sylphie and now that it's done they can actually marry, this is all we needed to perfectly start this cour |
 |
| Glad to see one of the best isekai is continuing, hoping we get more than just Sylphie this season, excited for Roxy to return to the screen! |
| Didn't expect this to start with a haunted mansion, but here we are. At least best girl Sylphie had some screentime, I really hope Rudeus doesn't fuck this up lol |
| Good first episode |
 |
| Would've enjoyed this far more if I wasn't spoiled.. Fuck twitter |
 |
| Finally commig around to watching this. |
| What a peace and beauty!!! |
| Oh wow! Rudy buying a house! This is totally turning into a SoL/Romance anime, but glad they still keep its good isekai elements! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Probably used a spell or something, but if not, fixing up that big house must've taken a hot minute |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Cliff: this is bit large for 2ppl Me: man if u only knew the future lol |
| Already better than whole last season, finally the let the characters interact with each other to develop them. Even though Rudy x Sylphie is still the weakest pair of this show, it's really refreshing to leave impotence arc behind and actually move forward finally. The last season developement was almost nonexistent. Still, hearing "I'll never leave you" in the anime is a big flag. The best choice - he will make her children and leave, the worse choice - Sylphie dies. She is still to naive and shy for her own benefit and can't stand next to him as equals. Also, I'm pretty mad he neglected his mother again (and he plans to neglect her even more it seems). She is basically mainquest he evades for way too long. |
| It's exactly right to compare "Jobless" to classic fantasy. The basis of any real fantasy is a fully developed world. The characters there live by their own rules and laws, they have their own morals, their own system of values. A simple example is the Beast-girls. Rudeus shows them his power and they change their attitude towards him dramatically. A complete world is usually a large one. There are cities, continents, their inhabitants, with their own customs and orders. And most importantly, they're not our contemporaries in a fantasy setting. From the typical kind of fantasy anime - "Shield Hero". It's not a logical world, strange characters and their actions. Naofumi 'works' in his allotment by moving the paper behind the desk. And then he gets helpers. Even though the houses in his village have holes in them. He also seems to have bought the children separately from their parents... There's a lot of other stupid stuff going on. Mc-kun defeating an ancient turtle, then getting spiked by some assassins on the street. A plausible and logical world, with characters to match, is the basis of fantasy. Plausibility is the author's ability to convince you that what happens in his world is possible. And it is not just about possibility, but also about making everything seem natural and, to some extent, predictable to you, the observer. There's also such thing called coherence. The narrative is not just a set of 20-minute plots sewn together into a patchwork quilt, but a story that is continuous. Each element of the story is there for a reason. There's a kind of thread that runs through all the plots in the story. And one important element, time. Good fantasy writers are usually good at building a timeline, and a lot of the action, like travel, takes place over months and/or years. In "Jobless", it's over 15 years of narrative time. Compare that to cheap isekai where the op mc-kun defeats another Maou a few weeks before the academy festival... There's fantasy and then there's fake. |

| @BetaMaleUltra There's an obvious mistake. It's supposed to have been a while. Maybe a month or so. Not a year. And, yes, this is a very quick repair. Even in this day and age it would be very expensive and difficult to do. It's more of a 'how I spent the winter' kind of thing. There are often large time skips in "Jobless". |
